Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
David May Motor Services Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 04864214 . The registered office is 6 Houndiscombe Road, Plymouth, Devon, PL4 6HH.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received for the provision of motor mechanical and maintenance services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, rebates and discounts.
The company recognises revenue at the point of completion of the work, as this is when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.
2.3. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date. Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be
made.
Amortisation:
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:
Asset class                                                                                   Amortisation method and rate
Goodwill                                                                                       10% straight line
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. 
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery 15% reducing balance
Motor Vehicles 25% reducing balance
2.5. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the profit and loss account and reduction of the lease
obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
2.6. Stocks and Work in Progress
Work in progress is stated at the lower of costs incurred, and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. At each reporting date, work in progress is assessed for impairment. If work in progress is impaired the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell, and the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Stock is stated at the lower of costs incurred, and estimated selling price, of the various items held for resale. Stock is valued on a first in first out basis.

2.7. Taxation
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
